Bloc de devenir (BDD), was founded in 2016, further to a collaboration between professors Christophe Le Gac, Denis Brillet, Pascal Riffaud and BLOCK architect agency. This experiment is designed along three converging lines: Image-place, indexed shapes and Design Game Global (D2G). Setting up the Design Game Global (D2G) research and creation workshop is open to 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th-year students from all specialisations. They must commit to a plastic work inspired by the world of playful gaming. To support experimentation, a research seminar was launched in parallel: BDD: Bloc De Devenir – De l’image habitée à l’image-lieu, en passant par les formes indexées. (Block of Becoming - From inhabited images to the image-place by way of indexed forms)
